Managing rights groups

Rights groups are collections of rights. A right is the permission to perform a specific activity. The InForm application comes with a predefined set of rights and rights groups covering the activities that are typically restricted to specific roles in a trial. When a new InForm application user is created, an administrator with the right to modify user information assigns the user to a rights group and thus confers on the user permissions to perform specific trial activities.

This section describes how to set up rights groups, assign users to them, and specify display override characteristics. For a summary of specific rights and other authorizations that a user needs to perform typical trial activities, see the InForm application online Help.

Note: To perform administrative activities related to rights groups, you need the Manage Rights Groups right. You cannot make changes to the rights group in which you are a member, unless you are the System user.
